737 Max 9 Dreamguppy
 
Guppy painted to look like a 787 Dreamliner. Makes no sense that they would paint a guppy this way, but not a 777-300.

Did they paint fake scallop markings on the back of the engines too?

At least the overhead is still a forensic collection site for skin and hair samples.

Opps. I didn't notice it was a Max. I clicked on the link and just thought it was another 737NG.

It is, with bigger displays that still don’t do anything.

That will be covered in the next Day 1 Upset Training. Preview: if you hear it, it’s an UAS. Verify slip rectangle is filled in red. Then call out the FMAs and RECOVER!

Hey, they finally fixed that a few years ago......on new deliveries. Would be nice if they retrofitted the new lids on the older airplanes.

I assumed it was designed by a female engineer.

I am sure the Max is going to really, really suck.

Horrible, horrendous airplane to fly and get paid to do it.

I hope lots of folks senior to me and anybody else considering moving to it go to the new inbound Airbii. Do not abide this monster. Vote with your bid.

Lots of great and better choices to fly on the property! Pick one.

Pool is warm enough to swim in, gotta go.

It’s just another automated push button jet that pays LNB. Do you really care if it’s not fun to fly? If they got a better deal on the max than they could the neo or if they can make more money with it, what we would like to fly doesn’t matter. Voting with your bid won’t matter either. He senior guys can bid what the want and the less desirable plane will still have a warm body in the seat. The company won’t know the difference, not will they care. Not trying to be sarcastic.

Dreamguppy needs to be the "official" nickname for these aircraft at UAL. I hope the name sticks!

blockplus 04-11-2018 11:29 AM

Only amongst people that still call a 100ton airplane a guppy 😝

Let me fix that for you:

"I assumed it was designed by a human form that currently desires to be assigned the sexuality of what was known in the past as "female", even though we know that is an antiquated stereotype that has no place in this androgynous, and monogystic world currently run by the same WASPs that have always run the place."

Well that’s what I intend to call it!

So perplexed that some people take offense to the guppy term. Ridiculous. Oh well, don’t care.

There is nothing push button about a guppy. Well maybe the recall light.

LOL. It will always be a Guppy. They just put fresh lipstick on it every so often.

How about Darwin-guppy, need stickers like the evolution of man, but with the 720- 737 10m

Mad Max? It's been modified enough to fit in with the other vehicles on that movie.
